dealer said spares are only used for flat tires and there is no mention of the fifth tire in the owners manual rotation guide.
i thought that was insane, so i did some research and everywhere ive looked has rotated all five.

All 5! I wanna wear that spare out so I can get 35's 
And then Id still rotate all 5. I rather have the spare wear out when the other four do. Plus I rotate like every 3000 with mud terrains, so they all wear pretty even.

I would guess that's because most of the vehicles he sells don't have full size spares, so he doesn't understand the idea of rotating a spare in. Very smart of you to do your own research. It will certainly give you a little extra life out of your tires.

plus I think the dealer would rather you just replace stock tires, with stock tires. So why should you wear out the spare too. They all read out of the same book.

The dealership had my JK for a couple weeks to "fix" the leaking hardtop.
I asked them to comp me an oil change and rotation while they had it, and told them to rotate in the spare. I later got a call from the service department that told me you should NEVER put the spare into the rotation on 4x4's........
So, I take it they were wrong?
